Sustainable Refurbishment

Sustainable Refurbishment is a total concept that makes renovation a good deal by finding profitable synergies between renovation, energy efficiencies and maintenance. This creates scope for sustainable investments, with quality of life and economics going hand in hand.

A living environment that is well maintained is valued highly by both property owners and tenants. But for most property owners the will is greater than the financial resources and planned renovations are often put off. However, as the need for renovation increases, so do the operational and maintenance costs. At the same time, the development's attractiveness decreases, along with the opportunity for increased rental income. The challenges for existing housing nevertheless also present major opportunities.

Overall finance is the key

Financial opportunities can be created by looking at the bigger picture when it comes to the overall finances. Energy savings can fund a renovation. The renovation reduces maintenance costs and at the same time increases attractiveness and rent levels. One measure enables another. In other words, there is scope to ensure pleasant housing for the residents and at the same time give the property owner a long-term, profitable management plan. This is what Sustainable Renovation is all about.
